Measuring approximately 4 inches tall with a 1.5-inch diameter at the base, it features a bulbous body tapering to a narrow neck with a simple rolled lip, typical of mouth-blown bottles from the era. The amber color was commonly used to protect light-sensitive contents. The base is embossed with \"D \u0026amp; M 123,\" where \"D \u0026amp; M\" identifies the manufacturer Davey \u0026amp; Moore, and \"123\" is likely a mold or catalog number. An additional embossed \"A\" appears nearby, possibly a secondary mold mark or plant identifier. The glass exhibits numerous small air bubbles and subtle imperfections from the manufacturing process, adding to its antique character. There is also a small circular pontil-like scar on the base, indicative of hand-finishing techniques. No label or stopper remains, but the bottle's compact size suggests it may have been for concentrated solutions like aqua cinnamon or similar pharmaceutical preparations. This piece would make an excellent addition to a collection of vintage apothecary items, antique glassware, or as a decorative display for historical enthusiasts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufactured by Davey \u0026amp; Moore, a glassmaking firm based in England (likely Middlesex or similar region), known for producing bottles for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies such as Crosse \u0026amp; Blackwell and various chemists. Davey \u0026amp; Moore operated primarily in the late 19th to early 20th century, supplying both domestic and export markets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCirca 1900-1920, based on the \"D \u0026amp; M\" mark (introduced around 1900), mouth-blown construction with air bubbles, and similar dated examples from the Edwardian era.
